Bee Blocks

30 Apr

Amanda asked for plus-sign blocks for the Vintage Sheet Bee this month and she did an awesome tutorial to get us started.  The blocks just needed to be bright and 10″ square. We could use artistic license on the rest of it.

Here is what I came up with:

I really had fun doing these.  I’m thinking wonky plus signs on white or grey may be a great way to showcase my “Katie Jump Rope” fabrics.

Amanda also opened her very own Etsy Shop this week and everything is super adorable and made from reclaimed vintage bed linens.  Check it out!

    Those are really cute blocks! You did a great job. I haven’t been very lucky in the vintage sheet search, but my parents had those blue floral sheets in corners of your blue blocks. My mom thinks she got rid of them when they moved a few years ago, but oh how I wish I had them!
